anyone ever stay up late at night and watch the hammer films.
hell theres some classics there.
sky chan 319 if anyone is interested.
some great crap acting and some fantastic films.
they were brilliant...for what they were...esp Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing
not sure if these are also relevant, but i also love the two Vincent Price "Doctor Phibes" movies...now there is camp to beat all camp...fantastic stuff
When I was a wee nipper, I used to sit up late on a Friday/Saturday nights with my mum to watch some of these old Hammer films, and particularly loved the Dracula ones with Christopher Lee. This was when ITV used to "close" after the late films lol (usually about 11.30 or midnight). Those were the days.....
Was glad when Hammer made a comeback with the "Woman In Black" movie starring Daniel Radcliffe earlier in the year. Was a good film, and a sequel has already been confirmed.
@emrabt - not sure if this was the re-written effort because CL refused to speak, but I can confirm that Princes Of The Universe was NOT used in the soundtrack :)

I'm sure you're wrong; it's played over the opening narration while the recap of the end of the first movie is being played.

LOL, you're right - and the CL stood for Christopher Lambert, not Christopher Lee :)
This topic has reminded me that I actually got the Hammer box set for £25 a couple of years ago.... have never got round to watching it yet(like a lot of sets I buy lol) but now I feel it's time!!!
@ David - I haven't watched the discs fully as of yet, but I have skipped through a few of them and the quality is ok. No remastering by the look of it, but still nice for £25 (or less....depending where you're looking lol)
@ emrabt - Well, it doesn't have everything, that's true - but it has all of the proper classics. Well worth the money, regardless...
